Parotid Enlargement as a Rare First Site of Manifestation in Extramedullary Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Parotid neoplasm in children is very rare, and most of these tumors are benign. Parotid enlargement in children is usually caused by infection or inflammation. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with the initial manifestation of bilateral parotid enlargement. He complained of two weeks of parotid swelling, during which the tumor gradually increased in size as he battled a monthlong on-and-off fever. An intravenous antibiotic was administered, as the first diagnosis was infection. Imaging studies of the swelling displayed features of infection, which was not resolved by the antibiotic. Fine-needle aspiration cytology was initially planned to establish a diagnosis. However, due to other findings in the clinical examination, such as bilateral scrotal swelling with abnormal blood work, the child was referred to other specialists for further assessment. Eventually, he was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by a hematology team.
